Patches are updates to the game that fix known bugs, glitches, or exploits within the game, and often add new features or balance changes to weapons, maps, or other game elements.

Many major patches, called updates, add new weapons, game modes or maps. Typically, these have been focused on one or two particular classes, releasing new content specifically for these classes. Other major updates have been centered around a particular theme or holiday celebration.

As both Windows and Mac OS X versions use the same code, updates exclusive to either platform are not released. They are released to both players and server owners via Steam, and must be downloaded and applied before the game can be launched again. Patches to the Xbox version, however, are fairly scarce, due to restrictions imposed on game developers by Template:W. To date, there have been only 4 patches to Xbox version (the last released in 2009), versus over 170 patches released for PC since 2007.
